Exhibition etiquette
【明報專訊】Different exhibitions are held in Hong Kong everyday. It's also common to see gigantic cartoon figures and models displayed in shopping malls or outdoor areas. It was reported that the Gundam (高達) model exhibited in a local shopping mall last month was found scratched by visitors. There are always rules and etiquette that we should pay attention to when visiting exhibitions or museums.
Touching objects is generally not encouraged unless otherwise specified. Photography of objects is subject to the organizer's approval. Wait patiently if there is a long queue for photo taking. If the exhibition is held in a museum or a gallery, you should not run or jump around. It is also important to help maintaining a quiet and pleasant environment. You should not make noises or use mobile phones inside exhibition halls.
■English highway﹕subject to
If something is subject to something such as approval, it depends on that thing happening before it can happen.
e.g. The arrangement of the concert is subject to the singer's health condition.
